People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

"Lin Yi, can you go home at night?" Yan Fugui asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi also thought about going back at night. The moonlight was good today and the light was sufficient. Besides, he had ridden this road once before and was familiar with it.

"Teacher Yan, won't you accompany Jie Cheng and the others back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Lin Yi asked again.

"I have to go back tonight. I have to find a house for Jie Cheng to rent tomorrow. My house is already crowded. Now Jie Cheng is married and has a child. It's even more crowded."

Yan Fugui talked about his own plan. In fact, he had other plans, which was to go back quickly and rent a house for Yan Jiecheng to stay outside, and then separate the household registration so that Yan Jiecheng could live alone. After that, if Yan Jiecheng got divorced, their Yan family’s things would not need to be divided with Wang Guihua.

Although he was an elementary school teacher and had no power, he knew a lot about some documents and policies. He knew that women now hold up half the sky. If a couple divorced, the woman could take half of the man's property if she was strong enough.

Lin Yi naturally didn't know what Yan Fugui was thinking. Since he was planning to go back in the evening, he didn't drink at the wedding banquet.

Yan Jiecheng was left in the widow's house like this. No one cared whether he was in dire straits or unwilling to leave.

It was not until midnight that Lin Yi rode his motorcycle to the courtyard.

He first sent Ning Linyi back to the dormitory of the police station, and then returned to the courtyard.

"Lin Yi, I want to ask you a favor." After getting off the car, Yan Fugui stopped Lin Yi who was about to ride the bike back to the steel mill.

"Teacher Yan, please go ahead." Lin Yi stopped.

"Please help keep this matter a secret. Xie Cheng married a widow. The Yan family has lost all face. I don't plan to hold any banquets in my courtyard. It's embarrassing."

When Yan Fugui said this, Lin Yi didn’t know whether his face turned red or not. Anyway, the light was not bright enough to see clearly…

"Okay, this is no big deal, just rest assured."

Lin Yi didn't care. He was not the kind of person who could gossip. After saying a few words, he turned the handle, stepped on the accelerator, and left the courtyard.

When we arrived at the steel rolling mill, we didn't drive the car inside but parked it at the factory gate. There was a patrol team there so it wouldn't get lost.

Nowadays, there are many people stealing bicycles, but there are really no people stealing motorcycles. It is one thing that it is difficult to sell the stolen goods, but motorcycles are generally used by violent organizations. If they are stolen, they will definitely be given special treatment, which is really fatal.

In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai had not been able to sleep well, and was in a half-asleep and half-awake state. He was in the middle courtyard. It was very quiet at night, and even the sound of motorcycles could be heard.

When he came to the front yard from the middle yard, he didn't see Lin Yi, but saw Yan Fugui who was about to enter the house.

After shouting, Yan Fugui stopped, opened the door, turned on the light, and asked Yi Zhonghai to go in and sit down.

"I'm sorry to trouble you this time, Lao Yi. You have been teaching for so many years and I believe you have made quite a few friends. In the end, the one who is willing to help is you, Lao Yi." Yan Fugui sighed. The matter of Yan Jiecheng was a big blow to him. The only consolation was that the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

Although Yan Fugui is greedy for money, he still feels that family is more important than kinship.

"We have known each other for more than ten years, and we live in the same compound. Old Yan is being polite when he says this."

Yi Zhonghai was very pleased with Yan Fugui's words. He doesn't pursue much now, and his only regret is the issue of retirement in the future. However, with the appearance of Lin Yi, this regret is slowly being made up for. Therefore, in terms of the purpose of helping others, the utilitarianism is not as strong as in the plot.

"Lin Yi helped a lot this time. If he hadn't been standing there in that outfit, this matter wouldn't have been so easy to resolve."

Yan Fugui also mentioned Lin Yi's contribution. He was not a fool. Moreover, there was no money in praising people, so he naturally said good things.

Moreover, after this experience, he also had a new understanding of the clan power in the countryside. In the past, he always thought that country folk, mud legs, were not up to the standard, but if he really encountered one, Yan Fugui really had no way to deal with it. It was like the old saying, when a scholar met a soldier, he couldn't explain his reason clearly.

Yan Fugui also asked Yi Zhonghai to do another favor, which was to transfer Yan Jiecheng's job to the workshop. Although it was more tiring than working in the Propaganda Department, Yan Fugui felt that being an apprentice in the workshop was more stable than being an apprentice to Xu Damao in the Propaganda Department.

Yan Fugui had to suspect that Xu Damao was behind this incident with Yan Jiecheng.

It’s not that Yi Zhonghai doesn’t want to accept disciples, he just doesn’t want to accept disciples from people in his academy. In those days, the relationship between master and disciple was not as simple as it is in later generations.

There are more responsibilities and obligations between a master and an apprentice. As a master, you not only have to teach your apprentice skills, but also help solve your apprentice's work and family problems. Of course, as an apprentice, you also have to give more.

Yi Zhonghai is now an eighth-level worker in the steel rolling mill. Except for some important workpieces, he is basically not required to do the work himself. Therefore, in the factory, he mainly provides technical guidance and trains apprentices.

Now, it is not an easy thing to become Yi Zhonghai's apprentice. At least, the skills in your hands must be at level four or five. Otherwise, Yi Zhonghai does not have time to teach you from scratch.

Moreover, the most important thing is that there was a Jia Dongxu in the hospital, and Yi Zhonghai had some concerns about these people in the hospital. Yan Jiecheng did not have a good reputation, so Yi Zhonghai declined.

Yi Zhonghai did help with the job transfer. It was very troublesome to transfer an apprentice from the workshop to the Propaganda Department, but it was very easy to transfer an apprentice from the Propaganda Department to the workshop.

Yan Jiecheng was definitely unhappy, but he had no say in the matter.

Now, Yan Jiecheng, Wang Guihua and their two children, a boy and a girl, rent a house on another street.

The grain book for the divided family was also in the hands of Yan Fugui, and Yan Jiecheng's salary was also collected on his behalf by Yan Fugui at the steel rolling mill. Yan Fugui arranged Yan Jiecheng's monthly expenses clearly.

It seems that if Yan Jiecheng cannot earn back the money that Yan Fugui invested, he will be dragged down by it for the rest of his life.

It’s not that Yan Jiecheng didn’t react, it’s just that it was useless.

Although the matter of him sleeping with a widow did not become a big deal, he finally married Wang Guihua, which was considered to be a settlement. However, those who should know still knew about it. The factory did not want to make trouble and did not prepare to punish him. This was also due to the fact that Yan Jiecheng went to the workshop.

In addition, when Yan Jiecheng first entered the factory, several people involved in the matter all received money to some extent, and the matter was finally let go.

After suffering several blows, Yan Jiecheng accepted his fate.

Yi Zhonghai introduced a level 5 fitter to Yan Jiecheng as his instructor and didn't care about anything else.

Speaking of Yan Jiecheng, it is quite interesting. In the first few days after his marriage, he really acted like a newlywed. He stayed in the newly rented house for several days and did not go out or go to work. In the end, Yan Fugui found him and sent him to the steel rolling mill.

However, Lin Yi heard that Yan Jiecheng had been quarreling with Wang Guihua frequently recently. On several occasions, Yan Jiecheng went to work with red marks on his face.

However, these things have nothing to do with Lin Yi. Even if someone finds his security team to report the case, Lin Yi can't do anything about it. After all, a fight between a couple is not backed by any law these days, so no one can do anything about it.

There is good news over in the courtyard. Lin Yi's house and yard are now ready.

All that remains is the matter of furniture and moving in. Once the furniture is found, the passage between the old lady's room and the courtyard can be opened and closed. Then, Lin Yi can move in.

Regarding the furniture, Lin Yi took some time to go to the commission store.

When I first went there, the store was just a pile of junk and there wasn't much good stuff.

After paying for a pack of cigarettes, Lin Yi contacted the store manager Ye Zhongfu.

The area of ​​the commissioned store is a large gatehouse, a two-story building, and many side rooms and warehouses in the back. To be honest, it is much more magnificent than the courtyard. However, it is not very suitable for living. They are all connected.

After passing through several doorways, we finally reached the warehouse.

"There are so many things." Lin Yi sighed. The several connected rooms were filled with furniture, and they were all good furniture.

Although Lin Yi didn't know much about wood, he still knew about huanghuali, mahogany and so on.

Unfortunately, there are no complete sets, most of them are scattered parts.

Moreover, the bumps and collisions are quite serious. Paint chipping and scratches are minor injuries, but there are also many broken legs and the like.

"Although the things are broken, the materials are good. I know a great carpenter who can easily repair these things."

Ye Zhongfu felt a little embarrassed. Although the entrusted store had collected a lot of good things, few people bought them. After a while, they would send people to take them away. The remaining things were indeed not presentable.

Lin Yi was a little disappointed and said, "I'll go out and buy a replacement myself. If I see anything missing, I'll come back here to get it replaced."

Ye Zhongfu had no choice but to listen to Lin Yi's words. However, Lin Yi's words did serve as a reminder to him.

"I know a person whose family is moving and they are looking for someone to take over a room full of furniture. They originally wanted to commission a store, but the price I charge is fixed, and he thought it was too low, so the matter was delayed. If you have any ideas, I can contact them for you?"

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yi agreed.

It would be too time-consuming to find someone to make furniture. Lin Yi didn't feel comfortable living in the same room with the old lady every day. After all, it was embarrassing. Moreover, as someone who was used to having a separate bathroom in the future, it was actually uncomfortable to face the old lady's urine bucket.

"Okay, the price is right, I'll take it. But there's one thing I still need to trouble you with."

"You say."

"If the deal is successful, I will still buy this furniture from you, so you have to give me a receipt."

"It's fine, no problem." Ye Zhongfu agreed.

As for the invoice, as long as the seller pays a lot of money, Ye Zhongfu can also increase his turnover, so that the people above won't complain all day long that the entrusted store only receives goods but does not send them out. The only thing is that Lin Yi will suffer a loss and have to spend dozens of dollars more.

However, Ye Zhongfu also admired him. If he met an unreliable person in his job as a middleman, it would be troublesome. Lin Yi's watertight style was quite to his liking.

The predecessor of this commission store was the pawnshop. In those days, there were no bank loans, and private lending was banned. Rich people did not dare to take out their money. However, after so long of war, there must be people who hid some things, so this pawnshop was changed to a commission store.

In order to prevent the store clerks from buying low-value items at high prices, thereby causing losses, the supervisor will give the store clerks a table that specifies the purchase price and selling price of various items. This way, the store clerks have little room to manipulate the items.

Therefore, when they come across good stuff, the shop assistants are not in a hurry to put it in the store. Instead, they are more willing to act as a middleman and share some of the profits.

This is what Ye Zhongfu is doing now.

After making an appointment with Ye Zhongfu, Lin Yi went straight back to the courtyard.

Before he entered the house, he was stopped by Li Zhaodi, the woman with bangs in the backyard.

"Lin Yi, I heard from someone that the three rooms in the back yard were all allocated to you?

How can you occupy three rooms if you live alone?
